"I am Italian, so you might think I'm partial, no way! I listen to very little Italian music, I don't like Italian music, but this is one of the few exceptions. Carmen is a mix between Sinead O'Connor and Skunk Anansie, and is definitely worth buying even for people who don't speak Italian and therefore cannot understand the beautiful lyrics she writes. Her melodic skill is well above the average, and this is really a beautiful album. The music is pure rock, but her peculiar voice and her good composition skills make it very different from the average.Try it, you will not be disappointed!"

"It's a shame i had to spend 5 months in Italy to discover Carmen Consoli, but I'm so glad I did. I speak and understand some italian and her songs make me want to understand every word she's saying. After hearing her i bought all of her available albums and am a fan for life. She's a gem! Her music combined with her lyrics and that beautiful voice will have anyone who hears her wanting to learn italian. You gotta check her out!"

"it feels good to say that laura pausini and giorgia and irene grandi are doing good things in terms of the new generation of italian pop by WOMEN...but let's face it: a cursory listening of one or two carmen consoli CDs quickly leads one to the conclusion that she is the ONLY contemporary female italian vocalist who is truly INVESTED in her ART....there is no comparison....she is the leading female italian pop singer (describing her as the Italian PJ Harvey sells Carmen short)...IF NOT ...she is The Best...I want to give Nek and Mango and Tiziano a chance...but....I don't know..Carmen's music is a lot more varied ...it's more interesting than those guys'....she may very well be the best period! Bar none!"
